Five men literally and metaphorically 'miss the boat' and as a consequence find themselves sharing a cottage on a neglected country estate. Into the midst of their amiable, haphazard and ramshackle existence comes Blanche. Enigmatic, beautiful, secretive and bedevilled, like the goddess Kali, Blanche has the power to create and affirm or bring about chaos and destruction. The reader is drawn into the enchantment of the lives shared in the communal cottage: the remoteness from modernity and the evocation of each changing season weaves a powerful spell. Whilst livings must be earned elsewhere, real life happens only in and around the brooding environs of the estate. But even in this place set apart, fate must run its course. No one is inviolable and tragedy when it strikes is sudden and final... and yet not entirely irrevocable because in time, so much is healed - until the ending startles with its proof of ultimate integration.Blanche is a haunting, atmospheric love story, and as with all John Moat's writing, what is happening on the surface is merely a reflection: the real story - the authentic communication - is taking place elsewhere. With an uncanny ability to tap into invisible dimensions, Moat adeptly conveys this otherworldly presence: one that subtly informs and shapes events, yet one of which, we are at best, only half aware.
Vergramt und allein stirbt die schone Blanche kurz nach ihrem Mann, mit dem sie nie glucklich war. Zuruck bleiben ihre drei Kinder. Die jungste, ebenfalls Blanche genannt, scheint allen die wieder auferstandene Mutter zu sein. Doch wird sich auch ihr Schicksal wiederholen? Victor Hadwiger (1878 1911) gilt als ein Wegbereiter des literarischen Expressionismus. In dieser tragischen Geschichte um Schicksal, Verlust und Erlosung verknupft er bildhafte Sprache, phantastisch-realistische Beschreibungen und gesellschaftskritische Momente.

A penetrating consideration of Tennessee Williams's most enduring character--Blanche DuBois from A Streetcar Named Desire--written by the co-author of The Fabulous Bouvier Sisters and Furious Love.Ever since Jessica Tandy glided onto the stage in Tennessee Williams's A Streetcar Named Desire at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre in 1947, Blanche DuBois has fascinated generations of audiences worldwide and secured a place in the history of literature, theater, and film. One of Williams's greatest creations, Blanche has bedazzled, amused, and broken the hearts of generations of audiences. Before the Covid pandemic, the stage classic was performed somewhere in the world every hour. It has been adapted into a ballet and an opera, and it was satirized in an episode of The Simpsons. The final twelve words Blanche utters at the play's end--"I have always depended on the kindness of strangers"--have taken on a life of their own. Endlessly fascinating, this indelible figment of one of America's greatest midcentury playwrights garners nearly universal interest--but why?In Blanche, Nancy Schoenberger searches for the answer. An exploration of the cultural impact of Blanche DuBois, Schoenberger's absorbing study examines Tennessee Williams's most enduring creation through the performances of seven brilliant actresses who have taken on the role--Jessica Tandy, Vivien Leigh, Ann-Margret, Jessica Lange, Patricia Clarkson, Cate Blanchett, and Jemier Jemier Jenkins--as well as the influence of the playwright's tragic sister, Rose Williams, the person he was most haunted and inspired by. In examining various Blanches from throughout the decades and their critical reception, Schoenberger analyzes how our perception and understanding of this mesmerizing figure has altered and deepened over time. Exploring themes of womanhood, sexuality, mental illness, and the idealized South, Blanche is an engrossing cultural history of a rich and complex character that sheds light on who we are.Blanche includes 20-30 color and black-and-white photographs.
This is the first modern scholarly biography of Blanche of Castile, whose identity has until now been subsumed in that of her son, the saintly Louis IX. A central figure in the politics of medieval Europe, Blanche was a sophisticated patron of religion and culture. Through Lindy Grant’s engaging account, based on a close analysis of Blanche’s household accounts and of the social and religious networks on which her power and agency depended, Blanche is revealed as a vibrant and intellectually questioning personality.
